The West are not responsible for the ills of countries/continents still living in the past and refusing to move on. These people are often their own worst enemies and need to do more to help themselves otherwise nothing will ever change.
The West spend billions every year to help but change needs to come from within. Therein lies the problem.

the problem isnt religion as such, its the old testament and its a particulalry warped interpretation of the curan, whereas the new testament is infinitely more enlightened. Thats why the west is so much more civilised , we have a pretty great country built in large part on Christianity. Given a choice between Christianity and islam, Its Jesus all the way for me. But of course due to political correctness were not allowed to say that in the mainstream
